Travis and Brian unpack the Council of Nicaea like you’ve never heard it before—Christian Woodstock with bishops limping in from persecution, Constantine footing the bill, and Arius dropping the catchiest theological jingles of the 4th century. From debates over Christ’s divinity to the politics of empire, this episode blends humor, history, and a few college basketball analogies to make sense of one of Christianity’s most pivotal showdowns.
